This is a known issue. You probably have not made any errors.

The nickel.yaml patch you're talking about, Custom new header/footer font, can change the header/footer font and almost certainly has. The problem is that, unfortunately, it can only change the font-family for the left-hand side of the header & footer, i.e. chapter name & book title - not the right-hand side 'page x of y' text which is hard-coded to Avenir somewhere in the firmware that isn't accessible to a nickel.yaml patch.

It appears you have also enabled the libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml patch Remove title from reading header/footer, i.e. don't display chapter name and book title. Consequently, the font-family change you made in the first patch is "invisible" to you.

Hopefully that explains the 'Why' of your issue?

If anything can be done to change the current patch situation it would need to come from @geek1011.
